Pete Doherty ?smitten? with Courtney Love? He must be back on Drugs!

There can be no explanation why anyone would want to go near this Skank!? He has to be on another drug binge.? Just days after reportedly finishing with model Irina Lazareanu, Pete Doherty has been linked to another woman: Courtney Love. A source told the Daily Star: ?They?ve been in touch on and off over the past couple of years and she contacted him recently to tell him how proud she was of his successful stint in rehab.?

?He was bowled over – smitten in fact. Pete thinks she?s a sex symbol and icon after going through so much herself.? Courtney is said to be planning to permanently relocate from Los Angeles to London to keep her daughter Frances Bean away from the Hollywood party scene – and according to the source, Pete is glad that the former Hole frontwoman will be around the UK more: ?He hopes to spend a lot more time with her over the next few months and even says he wants new experiences with her.?

?Pete hopes to play at the MTV Europe Awards later this week and says he wants Courtney by his side in Munich. He is also excited about her views on the forthcoming Babyshambles UK tour.? The source added that Pete also wants to enlist Courtney, who critical acclaim and acting awards for her role in The People vs. Larry Flynt, in helping him launch a possible acting career: ?Pete?s been sent a pile of scripts but one he?d really love to have a part in is [Kurt Cobain biopic] Heavier Than Heaven. It?s bound to do well.? Source
